It’s fun to watch someone like John Goodman, and yet it takes work. People say ‘he’s not acting, he’s being himself.’ Well it’s hard to be yourself, it’s the hardest job there is.

More quotes by Bill Murray
Most people, when they talk fast, they get flat.
Bill Murray
I wanted to be a doctor once upon a time, but it turns out you've got to study, and that wasn't going to happen. I had no idea what I was going to do. I had trouble holding jobs because they want you to be on time. That wasn't going to work.
Bill Murray
I'm over the Oscar thing. I feel that if you really want an Oscar, you're in trouble. It's like wanting to be married - you'll take anybody. If you want the Oscar really badly, it becomes a naked desire and ambition. It becomes very unattractive. I've seen it.
Bill Murray
Movie acting suits me because I only need to be good for ninety seconds at a time.
Bill Murray
Afghanistan is just one of those countries that no group can conquer. It's so challenging to live, and the people are so close among their own tribes, their own groups, that you can't rule them all, you can't get an accord from all of them.
Bill Murray
Disneyland. The world's biggest people trap, built by a mouse.
Bill Murray
I didn't get into this position by being like a stiff sitting on the set in a folding chair. I did it by walking around on the streets and stirring things up.
Bill Murray
People usually go through a bad period when they first get successful. You're new and you're hot and things go wrong.
Bill Murray
There aren't many downsides to being rich, other than paying taxes and having relatives asking for money. But being famous, that's a 24 hour job right there.
Bill Murray
The last thing I want is to be (in a film role) is obvious, direct and offensive.
Bill Murray
You know how funerals are not for the dead, they’re for the living? Bachelor parties are not for the groom, they’re for the uncommitted.
Bill Murray
The secret is to have a sense of yourself, your real self, your unique self. And not just once in a while, or once a day, but all through the day, the week and life.
Bill Murray
We're born alone. We do need each other. It's lonely to really effectively live your life, and anyone you can get help from or give help to that's part of your obligation.
Bill Murray
You cannot pray them out of hell.
Bill Murray
Melancholy is kind of sweet sometimes, I think. It's not a negative thing. It's not a mean thing. It's just something that happens in life, like autumn.
Bill Murray
I'm just a potato that won't quit. I'm a potato with some legs. Some have eyes, I've got legs.
Bill Murray
My favorite thing about New York is the people, because I think they’re misunderstood. I don’t think people realize how kind New York people are.
Bill Murray
The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything: the better you are with your loved ones, the better you are with your enemies, the better you are at your job, the better you are with yourself.
Bill Murray
I have a brother who gives socks for Christmas. He gives socks. Every year, I get a pair of socks from him.
Bill Murray
Well, the past is gone, I know that. The future isn't here yet, whatever it's going to be. So, all there is, is this. The present. That's it.
Bill Murray
